… where they can work at their own speed without worrying about the performance or opinion of other students.

Becoming A Better Learner

A good tutoring program can give young students the chance to become better learners, to think independently and to develop improved problem solving skills.
![Page 15: Six Things About Academic Tutoring You Should Know](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062904/587854181a28ab68198b6dff/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
A good tutor can help a child hone study habits and learning strategies that can stand him in good stead in a variety of subjects throughout his academic career.
![Page 16: Six Things About Academic Tutoring You Should Know](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062904/587854181a28ab68198b6dff/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
It’s also helpful for kids to see that they aren’t alone in their struggles with math or reading, and success can also breed success.
![Page 17: Six Things About Academic Tutoring You Should Know](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062904/587854181a28ab68198b6dff/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
When kids see others with similar academic problems begin to succeed, they realize that they can too.

Value Of Hard Work
![Page 19: Six Things About Academic Tutoring You Should Know](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062904/587854181a28ab68198b6dff/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Tutors aren’t intended to do your child’s home work for him.
Rather, a good tutor can develop a child’s appreciation of the rewards of hard work.
![Page 20: Six Things About Academic Tutoring You Should Know](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062904/587854181a28ab68198b6dff/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Much as a coach can’t hit a home run for a young baseball player, a tutor can’t perform a student’s school work but can show him how to maximize his efforts.
![Page 21: Six Things About Academic Tutoring You Should Know](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062904/587854181a28ab68198b6dff/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
For a child, knowing that better school performance and better grades are earned by their own hard work is an invaluable lesson and a great character builder.

Immediate Feedback
![Page 23: Six Things About Academic Tutoring You Should Know](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062904/587854181a28ab68198b6dff/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Unlike homework and class assignments, individual or small group tutoring means your child will get immediate feedback on work done.
![Page 24: Six Things About Academic Tutoring You Should Know](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062904/587854181a28ab68198b6dff/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Although this can seem like criticism to your child if he’s not used to tutoring, it’s a great way to speed along the learning process.
![Page 25: Six Things About Academic Tutoring You Should Know](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062904/587854181a28ab68198b6dff/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Also, one-on-one attention means your student can ask as many questions as he wants without worrying about whether class might think the question is “stupid”.
![Page 26: Six Things About Academic Tutoring You Should Know](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062904/587854181a28ab68198b6dff/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Immediate answers to questions means concepts can be grasped more quickly.

Because a tutor is spending one-on-one time with your youngster, it means the tutor can be a valuable resource for you as a parent.

Stay updated on the progress of current and upcoming sessions and ask the tutor about his own experiences with studying and taking tests and how they may help your child in their home studies.

High quality tutoring, based on the child’s needs as identified by parents, teachers and the child herself, leads to improved performance with school work, homework and tests
![Page 32: Six Things About Academic Tutoring You Should Know](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062904/587854181a28ab68198b6dff/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
However, even when one particular goal has been achieved, a youngster may need occasional remediation in problem areas.
![Page 33: Six Things About Academic Tutoring You Should Know](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062904/587854181a28ab68198b6dff/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
A good tutoring program is geared to helping kids with needs that may change throughout their academic career.

Additionally, many kids lose ground during summer when they’ve stopped using their academic skills.
![Page 35: Six Things About Academic Tutoring You Should Know](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062904/587854181a28ab68198b6dff/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Depending on the student, this may mean the loss of several months of learning.
Tutoring during the warm weather months can help your child start school in the fall right at or above grade level.
